    A government and people that cared about protecting abused people would demand that shelters accept pets.

    In my jurisdiction pets were ruled to have custody rights meanwhile the land of the free wouldn’t elect a woman and won’t stand up for each other. Enjoy your Handmaid’s Tale, stop trying to push it on other countries.

      A shitty “parade” at that. Looked like no one in the parade wanted to be there, the girightshotline aparently has been ringing off the hooks and morale very low. I’d be pissed being forced to support orange Mussolini’s fever dream too.

    Id worry more avout the fact that you live in an authoritarian state, that’s decided to make an enemy of… let me check my notes… the rest of the planet.

        Yes, your allowed to do whatever, but when the house is burning down, most wouldnt stop to complain about the decor.

            But your not, your complaining about the toaster not working while the house is burning down.

              Can I not be mad about the toaster and the house at the same time? Is there something about humans that makes it so we can only care about one issue at a time?

              And youre comparing people being denied the right to keep their animals (some would refer to this as “property”) when they need to leave an abusive household, to a toaster.

                1. Yes, but generally youd wait until the fire was out and a bunch of other thing before even considering that.
                2. Its a relatice comparison, if you really think what i said equates to “pets are as important as toasters”, then i dont think youre qualified to have this discussion with me.
                3. I think vets should have every right to keep and maintain pets at government provided housing.
                4. Demonising me, and willfully misinterpretting me, because you disagree with what ive said, tells me there isnt any furthee productive recourse to be had with you.

                  Demonizing you? I put your argument into perspective. YOU made the comparison, I pointed it out. Thats on you bud.

                  If you think I’m “willfully misinterpreting” you, maybe consider what you say before you say it, and consider there are real human beings being affected by the words you use. Consider that, yeah, the country is fucking burning down, and inside that country, there are 100s, maybe thousands of people with pets in domestic violence households, and you just told all those people to shove it because there are bigger issues.

    MAGAs are fucking psychopaths. They delight in cruelty, and I’ll wager they’re just as cruel to the people in their lives.
